TO OUR PARISHIONERS
ALL parishioners of St. Teresa of Avila:
Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) we are asking all parishioners to respect one another by following the rules that are set in place for the well-being of all. We at St. Teresa’s are very concerned for the community and take this seriously.
St. Teresa’s Church hours have changed to the following:
The Church will be closed for individual prayer, reconciliation any other gatherings.
The office will be closed but we will be checking our messages and picking up our mail. If you need assistance, please call the church at 882-1968
This is a sad and hard time for all people. As you know I am a firm believer in community joining and praying for the world. I ask that all will continue to pray and remember you do not have to be in a church for God to hear the prayers. Each one of you are important to God, the Church and our community.
Stay home and pray, God is listening. Remember God is in control so please listen to Him. Help your neighbor if they need assistance. Maybe everything that is happening is God’s way of getting our attention to love one another.

A NEW MESSAGE FROM FATHER TOM - APRIL 1, 2020
As the day turns to night I thought of writing down something...
Today the world functions with the help of so many heroes and heroines who are in the front lines saving and reshaping the destiny of many lives. Healthcare officials, politicians, social workers. police personnel, firefighters, the clerks at the grocery with no protective equipments and
the list goes on...Call these people if you know them and give them your support and prayers.
Church and services are postponed for the reason of preventive caution and stopping the spread of this insidious disease not because they are unimportant and non essential. Faith is shaped in crisis situations not necessarily on a religious ritual or traditional forms...This is a time to retreat to your soul, your Creator God - Some prayerful moments in darkness and anxious time, to be with your own family, who is around you and find time to be with them, time which we might not have spent in a life time. This is a time to know your worth if you are not a frontline person and be grateful for the life we have still and be a gift to others in the given limited circumstances of today.
When times are tough it is easy to feel a sense of lacking especially when we were not having a sense of direction. So the feeling of lacking creates unnecessary anxiety. Anxiety from not seeing the direction. Stop don't go ahead. Stop and ask the direction by consciously choosing to feel abundant in the resources in you, around you and above all in your Creator. Feeling abundant not only relieves your anxiety but also empowers you to be more resourceful and proactive in how you get through the tough times. If you believe ‘You Can’ & have the strong desire to do so, then despite setbacks, it is your Will Power that will make you try, try & try again. Creating positive, loving quality thoughts brings happiness & lightness. Happy Wednesday dear friends.....
Wishing you a good rest and sending you prayerful caring thoughts.
Fr. Tom Babu, Pastor -
A NOTE OF GRATITUDE FROM FR. TOM
I want to thank those of you who have continued to send in your weekly or monthly offerings to keep our parish going financially during these tough times. I want you to know we, the staff at St. Teresa’s, so appreciate you thinking of us. We know that you have so many other things on your mind as we continue through this unprecedented period in our lives. We hope you are healthy and know that even though we don’t see you regularly you are in our hearts and in our prayers. We will continue to keep you and all of our parish families in our prayers as we continue to proceed with social distancing. God Bless, Fr. Tom

Daily Mass Online
In recent weeks, the coronavirus outbreak has had a profound impact on countries around the
world—and, increasingly, here in the United States.
In light of measures being taken to contain the outbreak and avoid further illness, many of us
may be hesitant to leave our homes. In many areas, Mass and other church services may not
be available.
It is at this exact moment that our faith is most needed.
In an effort to continue the practice of our faith in these trying times, I would like to invite you
to join us online for daily Mass by going to the Pastor's Page (the link is at the top of this page.).
There is also a list of the audio masses in a menu on the right side (scroll down to see the full
menu). You can view the 5th Sunday of Lent Mass by clicking here.
Beginning today, Tuesday, March 17, Word on Fire will be offering daily Mass for the
foreseeable future.
Join Word on Fire CEO Fr. Steve Grunow, right here https://www.wordonfire.org/daily-mass.
If you cannot attend Mass or join us online, I encourage you to read the Gospels, pray with your
families, and join yourself to the Eucharist—the source and summit of our Catholic faith—by
making an act of spiritual communion like the one recommended by bishop Calvo: "I wish, my
Lord, to receive you with the purity, humility, and devotion with which your most holy Mother
received you, with the spirit and fervor of the saints."
And please continue to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus.Peace,
I pray for all of you who is watching this mass.
